Pretty decent final table, credentials-wise, although I'll add to the list of people disappointed that they had to make it NLHE (in a HORSE tournament!!!). Seems like circular logic to me: They don't show HORSE because it ain't popular 'cause no one (average target viewer) knows all the games, and no one knows all the games because they haven't seen them on TV, and they haven't seen them on TV because no one shows them.

I don't think this is why they don't show it as HORSE. I suspect the problem is more one of editing. If they don't show all the hands, they need to explain why every hand they show is in a seemingly random format. Currently, the TV coverage gives the illusion that you're seeing just about all the hands when, in reality, they are only showing a very small percentage.

I'm pretty sure the reason they don't show HORSE is the same reason they never show O/8 or Stud/8 games: because watching these on TV would make you want to kill yourself.
